Well, we’re back……. and it will probably take two or three months to fill you in on all that has happened in the intervening six months. In a nutshell, we’ve had to redesign and re-organize our structure and personnel in order to make the second stage possible. What a ride! The most important development is a new Not-for-Profit Corporation redesigned from the ground up. Our thanks to IASH for all the help in getting started.
The leadership team of the new corporation had to have representatives from University Administration, Corporate Management, Clinical Research, and NLP to accomplish our goals and interface with large Foundations. It now does. Take a look at the Overview link in the Welcome box for the complete details. The technical expertise and operating design necessary to run a large international organization comprised of a small paid core staff and thousands of volunteers have been put in place. We now need to facilitate the NLP Institutes, 600 volunteers and the leadership team into an effective organization.
The first order of business is to thank you all who have come aboard up to this point. Your endorsements, hard work and support are what allowed us to gather the necessary resources to make the transition. All of you on the Projects mailing list will be contacted shortly for help with the development of working teams in a number of areas inclusive of web design/maintenance, volunteer coordination, fundraising, foundation support, library development/maintenance, research development, and the networking necessary to make the realization of all of our goals possible. If you’re not contacted in the next two weeks e-mail me at research@nlprandr.org and we’ll fix it. It's taken six months and quite a bit of money to transition the website.……It has felt like years! We’re back in the saddle on a fresh horse and ready to ride.
